  1. No they dont those in the photo look more like Norway Lobster tails rather than prawns and are caught by trawl or creel all around the Scottish coast. Trawl mainly in the north sea but by both methods in Scottish west coast sea lochs. Overcooking can ruin the taste and texture of shellfish so pick a tried and tested cooking time. Blackpowder

  8. Realised that after you replied, not had sloes here for a year or two but 4 years ago in Dumfries and Galloway while walking around Wigton Bay in September the blackthorn bushes , which clad entire slopes from field verge to shoreline hung thick with sloes almost like grapes on the vine. Picked a couple of year's supply on that occasion but must get out and around see if we have any local this year.. Blackpowder
